Tel Gezer, Tiyul 101 Our first tiyul is a trip to an archaeological site located between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. This is your chance to explore the importance of archaeology and its role in understanding history. Additionally, you will learn about the Canaanite civilization, and its relationship to the earliest Biblical texts. The Second Temple; Masada This two-day trip focuses on the 2nd Temple Period (444 B.C.E. - 73 C.E.). On the morning of the first day you will visit archaeological sites in Jerusalem from this period, including the model of the Second Temple at the Israel Museum and the remains of the Second Temple Period in the Old City of Jerusalem. The second day is spent climbing Mount Masada, exploring the remains of the mountain fortress, and discussing the lessons to be learned from this most dramatic story. In the afternoon you will have the opportunity to float in the saltwater of the famous Dead Sea, whose banks are more than 400 meters below sea level, the lowest point on dry land on Earth. Belvoir/Tzfat; Crusades & Kaballah Travel to the Galilee to learn about two major historical episodes of the Middle Ages. First, you’ll see a well-preserved Crusader castle to learn about the Crusader period in Israel and its effect upon the Jews. Then it’s on to Tzfat, the legendary mystical center, developed originally in the 16th century. You’ll be able to focus on the Jewish community of the exiled Sephardic Jews and discover the primary text on Jewish Mysticism; the Kabbalah. A nature hike or swim will also be part of this day. Negev; A Day in the Desert Before the State of Israel was established, the Negev desert was an important region. Prime Minister David Ben Gurion had a distinct vision for the whole country, and especially the Negev. Today, more and more development and technological advancements are making this area a place to visit. We'll check out Mitzpeh Revivim, an outpost south of the city of Beer Sheva, established in 1943. This settlement played an important role in the UN Partition decision as well as in the War of Independence.
